4 Chapter 4

Tahara is headed towards his house, but he was yet again stopped in his tracks by another threat. It wasn't a troll or a corrupted soul, but a figure in a shining black knight armor. You could see his shining red eyes through the helmet.

"Not so fast, kid."

He spoke as he raises his excaliber towards towards him.

"Looks like that idiotic troll couldn't get the job done, and i have to finish his unfinished work. How annoying..."

Tahara grunted in disbelief as he had to fight yet another enemy. He was extremely tired because he brought out so much MP. He raises his sword to the unknown knight, but in a blink of a eye, the knight already had his excalibur through his stomach. Tahara was spitting blood and barely could breath. "Godslayer. the ability to paralyze any God or Demi God,"

The knight says, and grabs his neck. He then chants the same curse that the troll put on Yanaha, finally he threw him onto the ground.

Blood poured out his stomach as he was unable to move, and thought, "Bastard... come back here..."

He blacks out shortly after.

"Hmph. You got blood on my amour."

The black knight says and disappears. the Knight Organization fought off the remainder corrupted souls.

It's 12 hours later. Yanaha had lost a arm, she had a prosthetic wrapped in bandages. Rikizuma was badly wounded as well, bandages over her slash wounds located all over. Tahara had a bandage over his stomach. magical spells can be remotely controlled so they were healing over time.

King Jiro entered the medical wing. he looked in disbelief.

"How are they?"

He asked a medical knight.

"Fine. barely made it, these three. Tahara had shards stuck in his stomach, i believe it caused him to be paralyzed and unable to heal."

"And the other two?"

"Fine as well," the doctor says,

Rikizuma had strange cuts. Almost the shape of lightning bolts. As for Yanaha, her arm was brutally ripped off, and she had several broken ribs."

"I see. Guard, take these shards to the examination wing."

"Yes King Jiro!"

Jiro thought to himself,

"He restricted these three for a reason. potentially they could've been our best knights. This particular attack is so strange. Hades must indeed want revenge."

Jiro then announces, "Watch over the family. don't let them leave until my orders."

"Yes, King Jiro!" a medical knight and guard responded. Jiro exits the medical wing.

As Jiro headed back to his castle, he thought,

"Hades has officially started the war again. Now that i think about it more, i now realize that i felt two familiar MPs near Rikizuma's house. It was indeed faint, but it almost felt like..."

*The dream of Tahara*

"Get up."

He quickly woke up, and he was surrounded by darkness. above him was red lightning orbiting a white orb.

"Who said that? Who the hell are you?!"

Tahara questions.

"I am your inner rage. Your mind has created me in order to give you this message."

"What the hell? What message?"

Tahara responds.

"As we speak, you, your sister Yanaha and your mother Rikizuma are slowly dying from the curse you all share. Pretty soon you all will cease to exist."

Tahara wanted to say something, but he could feel his life slipping, and he slowly collapsed. he couldn't even feel his true weapon within. it felt unreachable and distant.

"But, i can save you."

"How?"

Tahara weakly asks.

"Grab my hand."

A black haired and red eyed version of Tahara emerged from the darkness, and held his hand out.

"How can i trust you?"

"If you don't, you die. your family will die. but i will reboot your power and you shall save everyone from this war,"

The mysterious clone says in return.

"But if you choose otherwise, you die. so will your family."

Tahara had no choice, so he accepts and grabs the clone's hand. Tahara also agrees that this war needed to end for good.

"Hades, you've made a big mistake. I will be your end."
